Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 505 games and scored 676 goals.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alfonso Pedraza made 407 appearances and scored 12 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Villarreal CF needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cristian Borja suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' It’s a booking for Sporting Clube de Portugal player. Jefferson gets a Yellow card.
  • 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 43' Sporting Clube de Portugal receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 43.
  • 44' A meaty challenge results in booking for Bruno Fernandes on 44.
  • 45' GOAL! Bruno Fernandes scores on 45.
  • 46' Bruno Fernandes with the second goal in the match!
  • 50' Sporting Clube de Portugal receives a Red card for a hard tackle on 50.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gerard Moreno.
  • 56' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 57' The Villarreal CF manager makes a substitution. Dani Raba departs to be replaced by Karl Toko Ekambi.
  • 62' Sebastian Coates has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 63' It is a substitution in Villarreal CF team. Javi Fuego is replaced by Iborra on 63 minute.
  • 68' Sporting Clube de Portugal seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 71' Santi Cazorla has so much to prove this time. He replaces Miguel Llambrich on 71 minute.
  • 76' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 76 minutes.
  • 77' The Sporting Clube de Portugal manager makes a substitution. Abdoulay Diaby departs to be replaced by Raphinha.
  • 80' What a strike from Pablo Fornals! The score is 1-2.
  • 83' Another change for Sporting Clube de Portugal made on 83 minute. Stefan Ristovski leaves to be changed by Luiz Phellype.
  • 88' It looks surprising Villarreal CF does not make any changes. Victor Ruiz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
